Publisher's summary

David and Vanesa are ready to call it quits. After five years of marriage, neither one of them can even stand to look at the other. But when a final, desperate attempt to save their marriage lands them in couples therapy, David and Vanesa are forced to look back on their roller coaster of a relationship and uncover where exactly they went wrong.

Filled with humor and emotion and told through a set of flashbacks spanning their decade-long relationship, Saying Goodbye is a story about meeting the right person at the wrong time and fighting to make it work.

Episode 1: "Before the End of the World"

While attending their first session of couples therapy, David and Vanesa reminisce about the first time they met—at an "End of the World Party" more than a decade prior.

Episode 2: "Dating-ish"

As the session continues, David and Vanesa recount the moment they became more than just friends … and how Vanesa struggled with putting a label on their relationship.

Episode 3: "Like Romeo & Juliet"

It's 2015, and Vanesa and David are together … but still not putting a label on things. After a night of drinking with friends, David decides to take a big swing in his relationship with Vanesa.

Episode 4: "Let's Get Hitched"

A year later, Vanesa is engaged to David and celebrating her 25th birthday. But when a surprise guest shows up to her party, Vanesa makes an (another) impulsive decision.

Episode 5: "The Big Mistake"

David and Vanesa describe the moment their relationship hit a rough patch. After two years of marriage and one major argument, David makes a choice he can never take back.

Episode 6: "Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner"

A year after his mistake, David is still legally married to Vanesa, but they're living separate lives. But a new opportunity presented to Vanesa might just make that separation official.

Episode 7: "Llévame contigo"

As Vanesa flourishes in LA, a potential new suitor enters the picture. Meanwhile, back in New York, David struggles to move on.

Episode 8: "Amor eterno"

David travels to LA to sign the divorce papers, but an undeniable spark between the couple forces them to reconsider their decision. In the present, a sudden bombshell rocks Vanesa and David's world.

Known as “The King of Bachata,” Romeo Santos is a record-breaking global icon within the Latin music industry as a singer, songwriter, performer, mogul, actor and producer. With more than two decades with a solo artist career and chief producer, and song-writer in the legendary group Aventura, Santos has developed a formula of infusing bachata, R&B, hip-hop and Latin urban. Romeo is called the “King of Bachata” for placing a genre based from the Dominican Republic (where his father is from – his mother is from Puerto Rico) to a blended genre that has exposed the traditional sound with his New York City upbringing in the Bronx to the world. Throughout his career, Romeo has achieved in developing a “Spanglish” tone and crossing-over top international artists into his bachata blend such as Justin Timberlake, Usher, Drake, Lil Wayne, Akon, Nicki Minaj, Carlos Santana, Marc Anthony, Bad Bunny, ROSALÍA, Enrique Iglesias and many more.
Santos has sold over 100 million singles and 40 million albums, he has won a stunning 17 Billboard Latin Music Awards, 8 Premio Lo Nuestro Awards, 2 Premios Juventud Awards, 4 Guinness World Records, 2 Latin American Music Awards, 4 ASCAP Awards, 1 BMI Award, and 1 MTV VMA Award. Currently, Formula Vol.3, his fifth solo album, is multi-platinum for its sales and currently obtains +1.1B streams. Today, Romeo is one of the most listened to Latin artists on Spotify and viewed on YouTube. Recently, he announced his tour, “Formula Vol. 3 - The Tour” in Europe and South America for 2023, which with the first few dates broke records in sales in stadiums within Lima, Peru, and Chile, where he sold out eight stadium dates, and in Madrid, Spain, for three sold-out nights.
Throughout his career, Santos was the first Latin artist at a young age to sell out multiple nights at the most iconic stadiums in the world such as Yankee and MetLife Stadium. In addition, he is an accomplished visionary to have appeared in films such as Furious 7 and Angry Birds. With the Latin music market being global today, Romeo continues to strive as one of the leading forces in music and has set the pavement for today’s young Latin artists evolving the Latin music industry globally.

Love it! With the king involved, it can’t go wrong.

I really enjoyed the story. The ups and downs of a relationship made it feel realistic. They even included all the city sounds etc. making it like a real novella. Then you add the voice of “the king”. I loved it. I hope there’s a bit more to come because there is no way this novella can end like that.

Amor¡La lucha!

As a Latina the music, the way Spanish and English were interspersed and the raised voices (🤭) felt like home. And listening to their growth in life and love felt real and reminded me that anything worth having is worth fighting for.

Not sure what I was expecting but good story

I didn't realize this was in "podcast format" when I downloaded. The story wasn't quite what I was expecting and I still don't get the "end of the world" part but I liked it. The voice actors did a great job and the story kept me engaged. Nice quick listen.

Loved the storyline

I really enjoyed listening to David and Vanessa's story. I wish it would have been a bit longer. I really did enjoy the songs, and although unlikeable at times, I found the characters to be funny.
